Gynecomastia Patient and Dr. Jacobs on T.V.

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Man's buff chestTroy is a typical 15-year-old except for one thing – he started developing large, fleshy breasts as soon as he hit puberty. He had a case of gynecomastia.

After that, life for all gynecomastia patients is as predictable as it is miserable. Both boys and girls tease those kids without mercy because, really, boys are supposed to have flat, hard masculine chests.

Troy knows that wearing white will accentuate his large breasts so he takes great pains to dress in black or in large, baggy T-shirts with bold lettering. Of course, none of that will stop the daily badgering and belittling. And he dare not ever be seen with his shirt off.

The cruelest taunts of all include: “No girl wants a boyfriend with bigger boobs than she has!” and pointing fingers attached to others who shout  “Man boobs!”

Troy and his plastic surgeon, Elliot Jacobs, M.D., appeared on a recent television segment of The Doctors, along with Troy’s mom – who is now one very happy woman.

Why, you ask, is the mom so happy?

Because Troy had gynecomastia surgery about four weeks ago and is already enjoying the bliss of fitting in perfectly with his peers and not being singled out for a body feature that is seen by other teens as being something close to a freak of nature.

We can’t show you the actual television episode due to copyright restrictions but, thanks to the marvels of the Internet, we can provide a link at which you can watch Troy’s surgery as the actual breast tissue is surgically excised from his chest in a procedure also known as male breast reduction.

Watch the gynecomastia surgery at The Doctors’ website.

And for male breast reduction on a 15-year-old.

Be sure and watch for the cut-away model of a male breast with gynecomastia. It shows exactly how and where the problem occurs.
